Leo box office collection Day 23: Vijay-starrer faces competition against Jigarthanda DoubleX, mints Rs 596.7 crore

Leo’s worldwide collection currently stands at Rs 596.7 crore, which is just a few crores away from Rajinikanth’s Jailer collection, which was Rs 604 crore. Leo is currently the third highest Tamil grosser of all time after Rajinikanth’s 2.0 and Jailer.

Leo released in cinema halls on October 19. However, the film has been surrounded by controversy even before it released. The actor did not promote his film after the audio launch of the film was cancelled. However, Vijay, at the film’s success meet addressed some of its controversies. He urged the audience to look at the film objectively, rather than personally.

He said, “I plead with all of you to look at a film as a film. If you look, all around the world, cinema is seen as something artificial and a form of entertainment. In that cinema, there will be a good guy and a bad guy. To differentiate between these two, there are a few things that are done… see I don’t have to explain this all to you. I know that you all know it already.”
